Hi Mark,
Can you talk a little about what the data is.. Just form data from
different locales?
I store all my data in UTF-8 and just instruct the page encoding to be the
same (UTF-8) and I'm able to handle input and display of whatever people
enter. Had a few odd things to overcome to get it working like,
JSP: I had to save the actual JSP file in UTF8 otherwise I couldn't get it
to serve the page with UTF8 properly.. This started after Tomcat 5.0.16 or
something like that.
Servlet: don't think I had to do anything wild.. Just set the charset before
you do anything with the output stream, including just getting a handle to
the stream writer. Set the contenttype first.
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
Depending on what you are reading from and such. You may also want to set
some Java ARGs when starting Tomcat... Like:
-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-DjavaEncoding=UTF-8
Not sure if this is relevant, but hope it helps,
Rick

Hi Mark,
In my case servlet generates an output, so no JSP for now...
Can I do it using filters? Or define and store user's prefs with encoding
outside of tomcat and in the session and use if it's exists in the session?
Thanks a lot!
Mark.
